Enlarge PhotoI haven't seen it yet, but apparently Columbus Short steams up the screen pretty well in Stomp the Yard -- where he plays a young man excused from juvie so long that he attends college at Truth University, where he is then courted by rival fraternities needing him to win the annual step show.
I actually have been watching him on Studio 60, but with rumors swirling about that show's hiatus (and pending demise?) I'm not sure if Columbus can count on that paycheck for a whole lot longer. Luckily for him, he's got a handful of upcoming projects to keep him busy.
Columbus was previously seen in movies such as Save the Last Dance 2, Accepted, War of the Worlds, and You Got Served. Aside from being an actor, he's a dancer/choreographer. Earlier this year he also made it onto the gossip radar after sleeping (and JUST sleeping, no sex says he...) with Britney Spears. Photos of them also surfaced sharing a smooch.
At any rate, he's a fine man -- with an unfortunate lack of high quality photos to be found! If you've found a fan site or photos -- share a link in the comments!

I love me some Columbus Keith Short Jr. I think he is soooo handsome! I'm hoping that one day I could meet him to tell him to his face! He seems like a cool guy, and fun from his films. I wonder if he's like that in person??

I am in love w/ Stomp The Yard and Columbus Short.I have watched the movie 10 times and couting just to look watch him dance and look at his pretty smile. Although they are friends, Meagan Good was a lucky good to have shared steamy kisses w/ him.

Columbus is a clss act. I have never had a crush on anyone before but I think I have a crush on his character in Stomp the Yard. If more men can be gentle with women and understand us this would be a better planet. He is captivating and has beautiful qualities. I hope to meet him one day. If not remain blessed.

this movie is dear to my heart because morris brown college is one of the movie sets of stomp the yard and my favorite uncle use to be vice president of morris brown and he and my aunt both stompped that yard. my uncle was an omega psi phi man and my aunt, delta segma theta. my parents are also omega/delta, my sister is pledging grad chapter this fall and i am going on line in the spring. my mom and dad stompped the yard at wilberforce university in the late 50's. my dad was a jazz pianist who played for nancy wilson who is also delta, so the sorority is in my heart. i have other things in common with columbus and i wish i could talk with him, we would definitely connect as long as he's not intimidated by beautiful, intelligent, mature women:)
